Oh My Stars! The Beauty of Belle Vogue Bridal

Do you remember when you were a little girl? Did you ever dream of being a Disney princess? I know I definitely did, but honestly, even if I hadn’t have been one of those girls, after my recent trip to Belle Vogue Bridal (@bellevoguekc) I can almost guarantee that from the moment you step into the room, you feel like you have been dropped right into a fairytale. Even the most cynical person wouldn’t be able to deny the warm fuzzies you get when you enter the room filled with soft, elegant fabrics of ivory, cream, blush and white. Upon walking in, you are immediately greeted by the feeling of what could only be described as “happiness”. The gorgeous dresses drape the wall’s surroundings with the most exquisite of fabrics like chiffon, satin and lace. There are nine perfectly unique fitting room bays for you and your entire girl gang to enjoy the experience. And not to mention, the soft, velvety pink fabrics that await you near these perfect sitting room spaces. The décor really gives this space that elevated feeling a bride deserves.

If you thought the décor alone made Belle Vogue standout, well, it just keeps getting better. They have a unique selection of gowns that have truly unmatched quality and intricacy and for my bohemian-loving heart, they have a super wide selection of boho-inspired looks. The prices range from $1,000-$5,000, but I can honestly say that the $1,000 dresses are just as incredible as those at higher price ranges. And they carry such a great array of wonderful designers, too. I’m showcasing three dresses from two of my favorite’s Martina Liana (@martinalianabridal) and Stella York (@missstellayork) for you below. 

First up was this Long-Sleeved Lace Trumpet Wedding Dress by Stella York (Style #6852). I have always had a thing for delicate sleeves and this dress served all my lace-sleeve dreams. The back of this beautiful number has a perfectly perfect train that billows from the bottom of its ornate open back, cascading with all its beautiful tulle flair. I felt like this one would be absolutely perfect for an outdoor, woodsy wedding in the forest or near a barn, striking the perfect balance of classic and modern.  

Next is this Beaded Lace Sheath Dress by Martina Liana (Style #819) and wow did this one feel like it would turn some heads! The back in particular had me absolutely swooning with its flirty straps. The dramatic train was another incredible feature with its sultry lacy overlay. In this one I pictured a bohemian-styled wedding on the beachy coast of Nantucket, barefoot and champagne in hand before dancing the night away with the soft shimmer of this sparkling beaded lace over the imperial crepe fabric. Can you just feel it? P.S. I styled this one with their 3D Floral Veil.

Last but not least was my personal favorite – another beauty by Martina Liana. This is her Dreamy Princess Ball Gown (Style #941). Honestly, I put this on and I felt like I could have died happy. It caught my eye on the rack because of the stunning lace drape sleeves, which is something I wouldn’t have typically chosen, but the closer I got, I could see the little shimmery effects from the sequin tulle skirt and my heart about burst! All things shiny are my jam! The sweetheart neckline and subtle embellishments are the cherry on top if you’re looking to make your Disney princess dreams come true.  

If you are in or near the Kansas City area or are wanting to take a girls trip for the weekend to amazing KC, I promise Belle Vogue is not to disappoint. If you or someone you know is recently engaged or planning to become engaged, you should look no further than booking your appointment at Belle Vogue. In addition to the incredible gowns, they have a full gallery wall of delicate accessories to choose from like veils and belts and also have a full room devoted to a wonderful selection of bridesmaid dresses, so you can get all of your bridal shopping done in one single trip!

And I have some more news for you. If you love these shots as much as I do, stay tuned to my Instagram page @sarahrileyrose over the next few weeks! I have something extra special planned that will be sure to help amp up your bridal inspiration! Until then, XOXO
